Good luck Radiodave, I hope you get yourself sorted soon and come back to let us know how you're doing.

They look nice, shy, what size are they?

They are UK 8 or eur 41, most of the time a 41 fits me, and even a 40 from some styles but as we all know they vary a lot. It's mainly the toe box is a weeny bit narrow for me on these though.

Cool. Would be great to see you there.

If you want to squeeze in a mini-meet beforehand (in Aylesbury, MK or somewhere else nearby) let me know.

Let me know when you're next in MK if at all, and we'll try to meet for a coffee and/or a chat.

Those Pumps look great pumpedup, thanks for sharing the pictures with us. The "wings" set them apart from the usual pumps we see, a little extra unique. Enjoy them. I recently bought some new heels, they are unfortunately a little tight on the toes for me, so may be sold or traded. Anyone interested, pm me or I will keep them.

Very nice, what a great present to receive. Hope you enjoy them thedesigner.

Practise, practise, and practise. That is the only way to learn to do anything including walking in 5" heels.

I am going to try to work something out to get to Watford, no promises though

Look great on you Johnieheel, I like the style of them too. Hope you get lots of wear out of them.

I can only echo Bubbas sentiments, great story and can't wait for the follow on (there is going to be more Please!!)

what you seem to be comparing is your 9 UK size which is the same for male and female with a US sized 11

I would not be surprised if men were to compete in like manner as they become mainstreamed into wearing high heels. What would that conversation be like around the watercooler or lunch break?

You only have to see some of the threads in these very forums to verify the fact that there will be competition among men over their heels

I can relate to both Euchrid and FastFreddy, my wife knew about my "heel thing" before we were married, but is not accepting of it. It has to be kept behind closed doors as far as she is concerned. Sometimes we talk about it, but just short conversations before she changes the subject.

I'd agree, Stevenage is not an attractive place to go.

Would those who haven't yet met anyone else off the forum care to comment on what's kept them away?

Agreed, Stevenage is not a great place to go for a meet up.

As for what's keeping me away, it's me. I'd like to meet some of you guys, and would like to participate in heels too, but I guess I'm just not ready to take that step yet.

They look great to me, the front lacing is a nice addition to a lovely high heel boot. Enjoy them, and thanks for the picture.

Excellent story, and a great way of telling it. Keep em coming now Loriette. Are we going to get any follow up on mums appearance too?

Yeah, I have seen some shoes I would have liked but for one silly decoration. Sometimes it's just a pattern which spoils an otherwise great shoe.

Thanks for keeping all of us who didn't make it up to date, great description of the evening and glad to hear you had a good time.

Great news Dawn so glad to hear things are getting better, hope everything stays good for you.

I bought a similar pair in black a while ago. There is a story behind my wanting some too, many years ago I was at a friends and saw his sister in her mums slippers which were similar to these, and I admired them greatly. A few years later another friend said they would buy me some if I wore them (a carefully contrived situation I had worked on), but they couldn't find any at the time so it never happened. And recently I saw them again on Ebay and bought some. Sadly they didn't live up to expectation after all this time.

Looking good, Autumnheels, kudos to you for getting out there and kudos to your GF for supporting you.

For me personally I would prefer a section to try on shoes in private, and in my opinion a lot of other guys who may want to buy heels would be the same. On this forum you're bound to get a skewed opinion as a lot of guys here are open about wearing and trying on shoes. I'm sure there must be thousands of men however who do not frequent these boards but may try on heels if they had the privacy. I think Nigel has the right idea, have a small area seperated off, and make sure people are aware you can cater to their tastes in footwear and enable them to maintain their dignity.

That would explain why my kneeboots come way up past my ankles then. At least I know for the future.
